I've install PLD via floppy disk / net install
First I tried base and got stuck with many configs.
Then I tried KDE-base thinking everything will be done for me a-la
easy distros style.
I want to make this work ...

So far I managed to get the USB Harddrive working
but am seriously stuck with the Video

I have no Display showing up

Please let me know if there is something like Sax in PLD
so I can easily get X working

thanks

For KDE to work properly you need the kdebase-desktop package.
BTW which floppy disk were you using?

AFAIK there is no such thing like SaX in PLD but you can always use
xorgcfg or xorgconfig from the X11-setup package. Just type
poldek -i X11-setup
and then xorgcfg.

Hope that'll help...

as that is not working :o
modprobe usbhid
And set up /dev/input/mice as the mouse device in /etc/X11/xorg.conf
Should work - didn't have the chance to test it because my mouse isn't
working on *any* Linux distro.

Adding proper modules to /etc/modules and an entry in fstab should do
the trick.

Look at /etc/sysconfig/console and the KEYTABLE variable (if you don't
have this file please install the kbd package with poldek)
Anyway - /etc/sysconfig is a good place to look into when new packages
are installed.

does poldek have a graphical mode?

the window-bar disappeared from my kde apps
so am thinking to install things via poldek to fix the problem
but a graphical interface would stop me from having to log-out from X each time

so far PLD looks real good
but i need to fix some stuff to make it workable

No. Only interactive and command-line. And ncurses frontend: poldex.

Probably caused by mixing gcc 3.3.x and gcc 3.4.x generated binaries.

Sometimes when it "hangs" pressing Ctrl-C helps.
